Still no.
It's not about lying. It's about that he fu cked up. He tasked himself with getting a replacement and he's tried to get one and he's failed to get one (IF he fails. 180 minutes and counting....).
Nah. Not having that. He knew what he was saying when he said it. As a club that "prepares one window in advance" to replace a player we suspected/knew would go in said window, to not bring in a replacement this window would be a very poor show.
He's got until 11.
I'm still there.
If we don't sign a CB, it will be a copper-bottomed fu ck up and I will be hunkering down for a good old fashioned meltdown this evening.
I think it's difficult to not play someone, at all, for half a season and then expect another club to cough up twenty million. Klopp has effed up his valuation through his own actions.
In fairness that would have happened last year (went out on FAC third round) and the year before (fourth round).
For anyone going out at either stage of the FAC it's fairly normal in any given season.
